Looked into this a bit more and FGW tags 1,000 fish each year for the Hook a Winner Program. Pretty crazy odds considering they stock over 570,000 trout.
Pretty cool.

They stock tagged fish before the regular stocking season starts. I caught two so far. Now that's lucky odds. You will get a certificate and a kool patch to sew on your fishing vest. Good luck!
